On CAPS, 96% of the 2,979 members who have rated Gafisa believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include 2win and LoveMeSomeGreen.

Late last year, 2win highlighted Gafisa as a rather sporting selection: "Brazil real estate is booming, and will boom until after Olympics and World Cup in 2014. Buy the dip."

Over the next five years, Gafisa is even expected to grow its bottom line at a brisk pace of 44% per annum. That's much faster than foreign homebuilders Homex Development (NYSE: HXM) (-3.2%) and Xinyuan Real Estate (NYSE: XIN) (20%), as well as U.S. counterparts D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) (7.7%), Lennar (NYSE: LEN) (4.5%), and Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) (7%).
